I have installed about 20 pairs of different "In wall/ceiling" speakers. The locations have varied from outside porch to HT surrounds. For sound quality in the house I liked the Niles High Def series and the NHT In Walls. A step down to me was the Polks, Klipsch and Bostons and far below them are no name brands from Home Depot/Lowes. I think they are all over priced compared to a boxed speaker but you are paying for a specific function. For outside background music I would get the lowest cost ones I could find, save the extra $$$ for a location where you can reap the benefit.
